New help for NCCo small businesses

Entrepreneurs and small business owners can get access to valuable resources at new monthly event launching this week.

"Open for Business in New Castle County" kicks off Thursday morning.

Modeled on similar successful events in Kent and Sussex counties, the meetings will bring entrepreneurs together with people and organizations that can help with business development.

"There are many programs and services that are available to individuals that are considering small business ownership on the local, state and federal level," says Ellyn Herbert of the Small Business Administration.
